Title Requirements for the infrared and ultraviolet transmission factors of eye protection filters
Original title Anforderungen an den IR- und UV-Transmissionsgrad von Augenschutzfiltern [in German]
Bibliographic information Sep. 1973, Vol.23, No.9, p.275-279. Illus. 7 ref.
Abstract Using the results of previous radiation measurements in various welding tests and the recommendations of the American standard for the safe use of lasers, the transmission factors of eye protection filters for infrared and ultraviolet regions in German standard DIN 4647 were checked. It is concluded that the DIN requirements for transmission factors should be increased for the infrared spectral region and lowered for the ultraviolet spectral region.
